10/3

Hurdles winner in Ireland who opened account over fences in this race in 2022. After a couple of below-par efforts, back on track when third at Chepstow in April and he's now 2 lb below last year's winning mark. Enters calculations.

9/4

Steadily progressive over hurdles, getting off the mark at Chepstow in April and probably should have followed up when second in handicap here the following month, headed close home having forced the pace. One to note on chase debut.

Bells Of Stamford^t²³⁸

17/2

Made the frame on first 2 starts over fences before showing improvement for a wind op/fitting of tongue strap to score at Warwick (20f) in February. 3 lengths down in second when falling at the last at Chepstow on his latest outing, so he could still have more to offer.

20/1

Has been getting the hang of things back over fences having had another wind op, finishing second again in handicap at Hexham when last seen in May. Still looking for his first win, though, so will need to find more on his return.

Form: U/PP42-2

Jukebox D'eddy^h¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: David Noonan| T: T R Gretton| OR: 90

16/1

Took a step forward over hurdles when going close at Wetherby on handicap debut in March. However, not in the same form next 2 starts and improvement required now that his attention is turned to the larger obstacles.

Ideallko²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 80| CD

7/4

Maiden hurdler but has shown much improved form over fences, scoring in good style at this C&D in October. Defied a penalty at Plumpton (19.8f) 8 days later, despite having been short of room end of the back straight, and he can go on to land the hat-trick.

66/1

Sole win came in handicap chase at this course (19.4f) in June 2021. After 5 months off, shaped as if needing the run on first start since leaving Peter Bowen when fourth of 7 back over hurdles at Worcester in June last year. Off further 16 months since.

Ocean's Of Money⁷⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 69WS

25/1

Remains a maiden and has finished no better than mid-division in 4 starts over fences this season, sixth of 9 in handicap at Worcester (20f) in August. Has had a wind op since, but looks to be up against it from out of the weights once more.

Forecasts

Ideallko (7/4), Good Friday Fairy (9/4), Brulure Noire (10/3), Iron Heart (6/1), Bells Of Stamford (17/2), Jukebox D'eddy (16/1), Robins Field (20/1), Ocean's Of Money (25/1), No Quarter Asked (66/1)

IDEALLKO has quickly made up into a better chaser than hurdler, overcoming trouble-in-running when making it back-to-back wins at Plumpton 20 days ago, and he can continue his progress to score again. Good Friday Fairy improved with each of his starts over hurdles and could be the main danger on his chase debut, ahead of Brulure Noire.
